Title: Hidden surface removal in graphics processing systems
Inventor: NYSTAD JORN
IPC: G06T1/20
Filed: 2013-12-17
Abstract: The early depth test stages 4, 13 of a graphics processing pipeline 1 are configured to broadcast information 9, 10, 11, 14 about fragments whose sampling points pass those early depth tests to other stages 3, 4, 6, 12 in the pipeline.

Title: Hardware monitor to verify memory units
Inventor: ASHISH DARBARI
IPC: G11C29/54
Filed: 2015-11-11
Abstract: Hardware monitors 400 used by a formal verification tool to exhaustively verify operation of a memory unit in a hardware design. The hardware monitors 400 include detection logic 402, 404 to monitor one or more control signals and/or data signals of the memory unit (104 figure 1) to detect symbolic writes 402 and symbolic reads 404. A symbolic write may write data (alternatively symbolic data) to a symbolic address. A symbolic read is a read of the symbolic address. Verification is provided by means of assertion verification logic 408 within the hardware monitors, which verify an assertion that read data corresponding to a symbolic read matches write data associated with one or more symbolic writes preceding the read. Further, a symbolic write register 410 is set by the detection logic 402 on verifying a write match. A symbolic read request register 412 will also be set if a read of a symbolic address is detected and the symbolic write register is also set. The assertion verification logic may also check if both the symbolic write and read registers are set and if a match of the current read and write data is determined, then verify the assertion or output an error if this is not true. A symbolic mask register 418 records any partially written data. Additional registers include a last written data register 924, initialised register 926 and a seen symbolic read register 810 (figures 8-9). The memory unit may implement multiple access points, partial reads and writes, pipelining and clock gating. Hardware monitors may be embodied integrated circuits. A test system may further be configured to verify operation of the memory unit in a hardware design which includes the hardware monitor and a formal verification tool configured to use the hardware monitor to verify the assertions discussed. A method/computer program means of verifying operation is included.

Title: Removing and replacing an emergency control valve (ECV)
Inventor: STEVEN TREVOR HODGSON
IPC: F16L55/134
Filed: 2016-03-17
Abstract: An emergency control valve in a gas carrying pipe has two arms at an angle to each other, one connected to the gas meter inlet and the other connected to a service pipe 3. This valve is replaced by closing the valve and disconnecting the arm from the meter inlet, opening the valve, and then temporarily blocking the bore of the pipe. The bore is blocked by apparatus comprising an inflatable bag 15 which is pushed through the angled pipes. The apparatus also comprises means for deflecting the travel direction of the inflatable bag 15, and a connection 16 between the bag 15 and an air supply to inflate the bag 15. Once the bore is blocked, the first arm of the valve is released from the service pipe 3 and the faulty valve is replaced. The arms are then reconnected, with the temporary block on the bore removed to allow gas to flow, and the first arm of the replacement valve is then reconnected to the meter inlet pipe. The deflecting means can be a curved member, such as a ball, and can be at the leading edge of the bag and the trailing edge.
